No question - Boxster! I have instructed in these and they are a fantastic platform.



The 944 has an inherent oiling issue that takes out the engine on hard left hand turns followed by a hard right hand turn... Lots of guys have learned about this the expensive way.
Abh the #2 rod bearing issue. Yes it's real but it is a tad overstated. If one's aware of it and preps the car correctly to protect against it the 2.5 (or 2.7) 4-cyl block is extremely robust. There are 500+ RWHP versions running around with no issues reliably.

Sort of like the gearboxes in the 986s. You just have to know about it and prepare / build / set up the platform knowing the limitations of it.
